Eagles World Cup kits unveiled as Iwobi, Mikel, teammates react

Meanwhile, the away kit is a classic two-tone red and white effort alluding to the Three Lions' 1966 World Cup victory.

Nike have released photos of Nigeria's new kit ahead of the 2018 Russian World Cup, which has taken influence from the cultural spirit of Naija - which serves to drive a desire of "healthy reserve and exuberance".

Nike is the official kits sponsor of Nigeria's national teams.

Present at the unveiling, in which Arsenal's Alex Iwobi featured as model, were skipper Obi Mikel, Leicester City pair Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Reacting to the new designs, Mikel said: "I can see the players going insane over this one".
